lol

[primal gull]

Not for DR it doesn't

[regal pawn]

DR is the same as potd

role doesn't matter

it's just
"aight, 24 solos, cool, throw them together"

[leaden ginkgo]

At least in my experience, DR took roughly 7-15 minutes for me as DPS

[regal pawn]

uhhh

[narrow halo]

is aether gear good outside the POTD? lmao

[primal gull]

It's the same for every role

[regal pawn]

ah queue

[regal pawn]

no

[primal gull]

Because it's a role agnostic raid

i see

[regal pawn]

i guarantee taht people already have 9 grips ready for reaper lol

[candid girder]

Another question, I know that you dont HAVE to have alts, and that leveling multiple classe son one can make leveling classes faster.

but is there any HUGE detriment to playing different characters for different classes? i like to have aesthetics match the class

[faint flare]

Literally doing EVERYTHING again

[regal pawn]

you'll have to do main story

and gear

[primal gull]

Detriment? Not as such. But all the content is locked behind the story.

[regal pawn]

The biggest detriment is pretty much just story

[primal gull]

So you'd have to do the main story every time for every single alt

[faint flare]

Nothing is except account items are shared

So you have to legit do everything again

All unlocks

All gear farming

All story

[primal gull]

Just getting to 80 on a job won't unlock the dungeons and raids at level 80, it's all gated behind your MSQ progression

And if you're somehow level 80 with a level 20 MSQ, well......

[candid girder]

hmm so its basically just msq again. i guess ill play my first class and think about it then

[primal gull]

it's not just MSQ, it's everything. Wanna fly in this one zone? Do all the aether currents again. Wanna do a relic weapon? Unlock all the raids and dungeons again. And so on

[regal pawn]

Oh yeah

Relic

Especially the new one
Has annoying one-time steps

[primal gull]

It's your subscription and you can do whatever you want, but just know that the game really isn't set up to facilitate having 4 or 5 different alts

[candid girder]

Im used to games being like that anyways honestly

im only planning 1-2 alts maybe

1 big guy, one skinny person etc

[pulsar pike]

https://youtu.be/sORUXWzl5r0?t=343 how do i get a specific buff somewhere else on my HUD(like we see in the video with twin snake)

[pure zenith]

dont forget the rewards for maxing out all combat jobs on one character btw if you ever plan on getting those

[candid girder]

I missed how awesome this game looks

[candid girder]

i dont think i plan on playing enough to ever do that

[candid girder]

also im just playing free trial

[primal gull]

That's what I said

And I am now 3 jobs away from having them all maxed

[candid girder]

this will be my 3rd or 4th time playing, and ive never hit endgame. im just playing in between fps and moba titles

[plain python]

can you see who is the mentor in a mentor roulette even if they disable showing their burger king?

[faint flare]

Hud editor > select the target bar > press the cog and split the element

[candid girder]

thank you for answering questions

[regal pawn]

Note: This is a new thing

kinda

[faint flare]

Like 5.3 or something

[regal pawn]

ah wait

Well yes and no

they're adding a new category to the buff/debuff thing

where you can seperate procs

I thought they were talking about that

[pulsar pike]

yeah

like disembowel

[faint flare]

Well yeah procs separation is new

[pulsar pike]

i want it to be place customely

[regal pawn]

And proc one won't have disembowel

[faint flare]

But that's only for procs

Not self buffs

[regal pawn]

it will ha ve things like Raiden Thrust proc

[pulsar pike]

ohh

[regal pawn]

or Fang and claw

[pulsar pike]

is it possible to do it with self bugg

biff

[faint flare]

No

[pulsar pike]

okay thanks

[regal pawn]

You can seperate buffs as a whole

[narrow halo]

@faint flare whats aetherpool gear max?

99?

[regal pawn]

but not seperate self from party

99

[faint flare]

Yes

[narrow halo]

does it change colour again at 99? haha

[faint flare]

No

[narrow halo]

no bragging rights then

[faint flare]

Most people have it capped

If they're actively doing it

[narrow halo]

i have mine at 70 for weapon and 68 for armour

though i think they cant get any better since im only doing 51-60

@faint flare i havent passed 100 yet so what does that aether gear look like? the stuff you can take out

[lost sinew]

doing dalriada for the first time… should i use a dps or a survival essence? does pure essence work?

(healer)

[faint flare]

Dps

[regal pawn]

it's just Padjali (the base glow) and then Kinna (the red ones)

[narrow halo]

ahh ok

thanks

[regal pawn]

you need 90 total

[narrow halo]

guess ill just keep my gear the way it is so i dont become useless in POTD

[regal pawn]

10 per grip
30 for padjali
60 for kinna upgrade

[hollow turtle]

is there a way to reset what leves are on offer without using an allowance?

i have 3 books remaining for my arr relic, and only 9 leve allowances, i don't exactly fancy my chances if i'm being honest

[tranquil valve]

Not that I'm aware of. To my knowledge, the only way to change them is to accept at least one.

How do I get a Mentor tag in here btw?

they bear no relation

@tight spoke

ah I see

nvm then

[spiral mango]

hey guys question

[hasty musk]

answer

[spiral mango]

after finishing MSQ and unlocking duty lvl 80 with the 2 dungeons, what else should I unlock thats vital ?

[hasty musk]

eden series

nier alliance raid series

[minor fulcrum]

Get shb relic, get eden complete and work towards BIS

[spiral mango]

aye im in the middle of that

but 0 on nier

ill first get on with Eden though.

[hasty musk]

Nier is how you get the mats to augment cryptlurker gear if you don't wanna do savage

[faint flare]

Bojza at least for thr levelling zone even if you're not interested in relics

[boreal storm]

“Nothing is vital except msq and job/role quests”

[spiral mango]

i want to do savage

but first i need to get a bit better gear

510

[primal gull]

Even with Savage gear some augmented cryptlurker pieces might still be better because of more preferable stats, so it's worth unlocking NieR anyway

[boreal storm]

Augment your exarchic

[primal gull]

plus, y'know, they're pretty awesome raids and are fun to do

[spiral mango]

ill do eden -> nier

[spiral mango]

elaborate on job/role quests

[faint flare]

The mandatory stuff that gave you skills

[spiral mango]

oh ive all of those

well...on 1 class

[boreal storm]

And you literally can’t complete ShB without doing a role quest

[spiral mango]

ive done those 5-6

[faint flare]

It's also what unlocks the 80 job gear

[sullen moth]

I don't understand how loot works with third yorha raid

I get to need on 3 things weekly?

[faint flare]

No

There's no lockouts anymore

[sullen moth]

oh

[hasty musk]

there used to be a one piece per week lockout

but yeah, not anymore

[sullen moth]

so I can just spam it?

[hasty musk]

yup

[faint flare]

Yes

[sullen moth]

then why the hell am I doing edens promise

[hasty musk]

lore

[faint flare]

Lockouts will be back to normal with the new raid tier

[sullen moth]

yeah when endwalker drops

I get that

[hasty musk]

also you need to do normal to do savage if you care about that sort of thing

savage gear is still better than nier gear

[sullen moth]

I have almost 850 hours in the game and I'm thinking about trying out savage

but I don't know

[minor fulcrum]

go for it

[sullen moth]

kinda scares me

[hasty musk]

if you can do your rotation while moving you can learn savage

[sullen moth]

I heard e10s is good as your first one

[hasty musk]

nooooooo

[sullen moth]

yeah I'm pretty sure I can do most of dragoon

dragoon's rotation while blindfolded

[minor fulcrum]

Need to do more than most

[hasty musk]

do e9s first imo

[minor fulcrum]

Honestly go do thordan ex

[hasty musk]

especially if you have trouble with the shadow in e10 normal lol

[sullen moth]

I can do full with ogcds when I sometimes look at the bar

to look which ones are up

[primal gull]

I'm doing e9s as my very first savage experience tonight, I'm sure it will go well and not be a disaster

[hasty musk]

I believe in you

[sullen moth]

the standard rotation is very easy for me

[sullen moth]

I tried it once

my brain melted

[hasty musk]

Just make sure you're fully geared, melded and you do your research on mechanics beforehand

[sullen moth]

yes of course

which ilvl would you recommend for savage?

[hasty musk]

520 minimum at this point

[sullen moth]

I see

[hasty musk]

no reason not to have it

[primal gull]

I watched a few guide videos and it doesn't look too? bad, it seems like it's mostly about doing that mechanics dance and pulling off tiles correctly

[sullen moth]

so full yorha gear plus augmented exarchic?

[warm snow]

E10s is arguably an easier starting point specifically for this tier

[fallow mulch]

I have a very vague question on something I ran across last week-ish when I was lv 40-ish

So I think I was making my first trip to Drybone, and I ran across this lv 50 Fate. I started it to see how hard it could be (because why not) and when it started, the icon for the first game appeared (I don't know what the expansions are).

So I ran away to heal once this giant robot showed and some lv 50 guy showed up, and I tried to help some. The robot went down, the FF icon popped up and I got 2 packages of something (I don't have the PS near, so I can't tell what it is)
But this has me confused and curious since I can't find anything online

[sullen moth]

that's what I can do

[hasty musk]

boss fate

probably

[fallow mulch]

Ooooooo!

[faint flare]

It's the ff15 event fate

[fallow mulch]

That sounds cool

[sullen moth]

also I can do all extremes up to and including stormblood ones pretty easily

synced of course

I didnt even attempt shb extremes yet

[dreamy juniper]

anyone have a list of what are the hex values of these colors?

[fallow mulch]

Can I do anything with the weird drop on the trial or?

[faint flare]

FFXV Music FAQ

Where/How can I get the FFXV Orchestrion Rolls?
After you have completed the FFXV collaboration quest 'The Man in Black' you'll be able to buy the Orchestrion rolls from the Ironworks Hand located in Central Thanalan at x22, y18. The tokens needed to exchange for the Orchestrion rolls come from the Collaboration FATE Like Clockwork located east of Black Brush Station.

Each completion of the FATE gives you 1 token for silver rating and 2 tokens for gold rating, which means that you'll need to complete the fate 3 to 6 times to be able to buy all 6 Orchestrion rolls.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/3vjD9e7.png

[faint flare]

You need to do the ff15 event quest for the npc.to spawn in that location

[fallow mulch]

🤔
I will have to look into this
I found another one in my first trip to the Processing Plant last night and it killed me pretty quickly for it being 49 and me 50

[boreal storm]

Oh you haven’t beat ARR then

[fallow mulch]

Nope!
First time thru currently
😅

[worn zodiac]

Is it possible in any way to change data center?

[faint flare]

Yes

Transferring costs 18$

[boreal storm]

If you’re in a congested DC, (there aren’t any right now), you get a free transfer to a preferred world

[worn zodiac]

Is it the Home World Transfer? Didnt think that that was for data centers

[faint flare]

Yes

Cause you're changing your home world

[worn zodiac]

Aah okay, thanks!

[faint flare]

To a different one

[worn zodiac]

Yeah im a bit slow sometimes

[fallow mulch]

I love that you have the foxes as you pfp
They are a favorite comic

[vale field]

I'm kind of avoiding the story related releases from this media tour, but have they shown any Loporrit art this time around?

Or models.

[faint flare]

No

There's basically 0 spoilers

Outside of what the first dungeon is

[vale field]

Shame, trying to gather some fanart inspo. Thanks for answering!

[twilit arch]

the only loporrit image we've got is what they showed off at fanfest

[fluid plover]

How difficult is the third tier of Eden compared to the first two tiers?

[green grail]

savage? about the same as 2nd tier

first tier was pretty easy with the exception of maybe p1 of titan, next two tiers got bumped up to like. "proper" savage difficulty I guess

but still its gonna be pretty subjective

[faint flare]

First tier is usually toned down slightly so people can learn new rotations proper

Second and third tier are around the same difficulty

Fight variance pending

[warm snow]

E12s P1 is also a nasty beast

At least e8s had the courtesy to put lr early on

[fringe lotus]

Is heaven on high good for 70-80 leveling? I really dislike Bozja and dont want to step foot in there again

[faint flare]

Lol no

Xp dies at 70

[fringe lotus]

So just running dungeons would be my other option?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

When I get my class to lvl 30, do I keep leveling them or do start leveling another class to 30?

[faint flare]

You can level whatever you want when you want

[pure karma]

is anyone else frequently disconnecting ?

it was fine yesterday but today i can't stay on for more than 5 minutes without dc

[warm snow]

Get a data center role then come back and ask when you have more specific information

[prime summit]

Anyone here a level 50 crafter? I need you to make me a item for a quest.

[boreal storm]

If you’re on trial, you can’t trade/be traded to

[prime summit]

Oh

[faint flare]

Just ignore relics for now

[lapis stag]

So, like... Is this a normal thing to see from a bot?

[faint flare]

Yes

[lapis stag]

And what's exactly their purpose? I can see they've got the Road to Lv70 buff, so I'm guessing they're leveling?

[faint flare]

Farm gil

[lapis stag]

Ah, I see

This bot is still here so I assume it's a great spot to farm lol

Either way thank you for the response 👍

[faint flare]

They bounce around

[lapis stag]

Yeah well, there's always a pack of 4 Ixali spawning right here

[wispy river]

Which will be more efficient leveling from 71-80: Zadnor or dungeons? I'm leveling a tank.

[faint flare]

Dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone else disconnecting a lot

[obsidian patio]

Nothing on my end for Gilgamesh.

[leaden ginkgo]

i disconnected tanking a roulette as i pulled the last boss

when i reconnected the fight was over and everyone had left lol

wonder how that went

[faint flare]

Considering bosses do literally do no damage

Not as bad as you think

[fiery ginkgo]

Ive definitely tanked a fight as a samurai when tank leaves

huge shoutout to the parties that stuck with me when I realized my ilvl was hella low and still stayed when I was leveling warrior and ast

[boreal storm]

I had a tank DC during aurum vale final boss

Bard came in clutch

[fiery ginkgo]

majority of AV final boss is partywide damage no?

[split dust]

DGs gives more xp than Bozjan?

[faint flare]

Yes

Bojza is just like potd, good for long ques

[split dust]

ty

[deft quiver]

how much xp does mt gulg give approximately after 1 run?

[boreal storm]

That varies

[green grail]

like 30% of a level

[boreal storm]

Exp bonuses and all that

[green grail]

usually with expansion leveling dungeons it's 3~ runs to level up when you're at the dungeon level, then 4~ for the next level

[deft quiver]

damn ok

[green grail]

ish

[deft quiver]

what about alliance raid roulette?

[green grail]

more than a dungeon for sure

like half a level? 60%?

[deft quiver]

bc im about to finish wondrous tails and gonna get my drk to halfway through 79 and trying to figure out fastest way

but alliance could also put me in a lvl 70 raid which takes like 35 mins

[faint flare]

Just force a 50 one

[deft quiver]

how

[faint flare]

Remove your gear

[deft quiver]

queue with a lvl 50?

oh

oh ye min ilvl required

[faint flare]

Roulettes can't put you into stuff you don't have ilvl for

People do it all the time

[deft quiver]

i didnt even know it was possible

never thought about it actually

so ye ill do that then

should get me to 80 and if anything i think i still have fairy tribe to do

thanks for the help btw

[primal gull]

Don't forget your daily hunt bills too

Combined those are worth just as much (if not more) XP than the 3 pixie tribe dailies

[deft quiver]

damn ive never even done those

didnt know there was that much xp to be made with them

ill keep that in mind when doing my next class to 80

are those only lvl 70+ bill?

or all the ones from heavensward too?

does dream within a dream on ninja need to not be interrupted to deal full damage?

[faint flare]

No

Animation doesn't mean anything

[hasty turtle]

okok, my friend was confused

[faint flare]

Animations never mean anything

[hasty turtle]

because it has 2 instances of damage

but it says threefold attack

[faint flare]

It's just fluff

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey, just bought the full version of the game, played free trial before for a few days. Can I copy my UI and keybinds from the free trial or will the game do it automatically? I play on Steam not sure if thats important.

[honest anvil]

how final are the job skills at this point?

[faint flare]

Potencies can and will change

But functionally they won't/shouldn't change much

[wispy shell]

Will they add lvl 80 boosts to the shop when EW is out?

[faint flare]

Yes

[autumn oasis]

For Mog EX, one of our DPS died this pull but didn't die the last pull. No weakness debuff. What happened?

[honest anvil]

thanks

[autumn oasis]

All full hp during the big raidwide AOE. No change in food either.

[wispy shell]

Alright I'll hold out on that for now then. Then buy it during EW

[hasty musk]

difference in mitigation possibly?

[autumn oasis]

The healers dropped their mitigations both times

[faint flare]

Damage variance, shield variance

[normal breach]

if my retainer is lvl 80 marauder and i wanna make it dark knight, will resetting class set its level down to 0?

[faint flare]

No

Cause class to job keeps level

[normal breach]

so as long as i swap to a tank its fine?

[faint flare]

Any job

[normal breach]

oh so it only resets if i change it to miner/fisher/botany?

[faint flare]

Or go from a job to a different class

[normal breach]

wait isnt marauder to dark knight class to class?

[faint flare]

No

Marauder is a class

DRK is a job

[wispy shell]

Would a job with lvl 72 gear be able to beat 73-79 syncd pixie tribe dailies?

[hasty musk]

you can upgrade your retainer from any base class to any job, it doesn't follow the rules that players have to

but if you change it do a different job after that point, it'll reset the level

[hasty musk]

probably

they're not very hard

[wispy shell]

Just don't wanna keep upgrading my gear if all I'm doing is the dailies to level them

Hey house floating experts, I need some help please. I never used to have an issue with this but I'm currently trying to float stuff and even after rotating an object, it falls back to the floor when I exit the housing menu

how much exp does the ShB MSQ give? I in one of the first quests, still getting those white oak coffers, and i have 2 lvl 73 chars. Is it enough to get them both to 80? Or maybe its too much? Idk

[obsidian patio]

Eureka Pagos Frost-warped Lockboxes or rarely from the Behemoth NM in Eureka Pagos

[swift pasture]

how much aetherpool do you need to get the upgraded blood red weapon in POTD?

[obsidian patio]

Eureka being unlocked at level 70

[obsidian patio]

60 if you mean for the model to change inside

[swift pasture]

thats the one where you can turn bring it outside POTD?

[obsidian patio]

For outside use, you need to upgrade the Padjali weapon for that class with 6 Aetherpool Grips

Which is a total of 90/90 aetherpool

[amber portal]

gotcha, thanks!

[brittle blaze]

@obsidian patio oh ok thx for the answer

Is it generally considered better to do Trusts as a tank so you can pull wall to wall, or as a DPS so you can ensure damage?

[faint flare]

Trusts aren't great in mass pulls

[hasty musk]

the healers aren't gonna heal you through wall to wall unless you're a WAR, in which case you don't need them

[near path]

OK, thank you.

[obsidian patio]

Big pulls with trusts as a tank are a big test in cool down usage

I managed it with all 4 tanks when I was leveling up my trusts for the achievement, but DRK/WAR felt like the easiest ones

PLD too if you sacrifice damage to use clemency

[near path]

Hmmm, I don't really know what that means. There's an achievement for doing trusts with 4 tanks?

[obsidian patio]

No, I just swapped between the 4 to keep things fresh

[near path]

Ah

[leaden ginkgo]

trusts seem to be only good for dps

[obsidian patio]

Yep

I only did some as tank to more easily level up the trust NPCs

[near path]

We can level them?

[leaden ginkgo]

at some point yes

[obsidian patio]

They gain a whole level’s worth of experience from dungeons if you keep doing the highest one available to them

So 9 runs to go from 71 to 80

[near path]

Can you outlevel the Trusts with them? Or do they get scaled down if you go back?

[obsidian patio]

They still level sync

[leaden ginkgo]

scaled

[midnight ether]

can anyone help me with treasure maps in Primal?

[hasty musk]

not the channel for that

if you need help with maps set up a party finder for it

or ask your FC if you have one

[midnight ether]

Whats the channel for it @hasty musk ?

I setup party finder for it for more than a hour so thats why im asking in here

[hasty musk]

there isn't one here, cause there's no channel for setting up one-off parties

if no one's joining, try another time when more people are playing

[clever jolt]

Dumb question but is the gamestop version of Endwalker for Steam or Non-steam version?

[hasty musk]

non steam, I would assume

lemme check

[clever jolt]

Alright thanks 🙂

[hasty musk]

yeah that's non steam afaik

[rancid torrent]

its enough to get 2 from 70 to 80, maybe 3

[clever jolt]

Alright, thanks. I'll just use my store credit that I accumulated to purchase a Steam gift card (which I know I can buy with store credit since I had to do it like a year ago to pay for my sub)

[rancid torrent]

you should probably ask the store youre buying it from

[last kayak]

how do I fix my armory chest sort? Whenever I 'Sort' it does weird things like placing lvl 19 equipment above my lvl 80 stuff

[rancid torrent]

i think it places stuff of your class at a higher priority

[last kayak]

oh I'm on WAR and the thing it moved towards the top was a lvl 19 lance

[rancid torrent]

hmm

not sure

[near path]

Why does the leveling guide say not to do 50/60/70 dungeons for leveling?

[honest anvil]

because those aren’t designed to give exp

they were level cap dungeons .. so they used to give no exp even. Now, they give the bare minimum

[boreal storm]

Cap dungeons give basically no exp

[near path]

OK, thank you.

[leaden ginkgo]

is there an easy visual way to determine if a mechanic can be blocked with surecast/arm's length

this goddamn porxie...

[patent citrus]

the arrow

[regal pawn]

Porxie thing, no

[wispy orbit]

is there a way to grow things in an apartment or am I going to have to wait for islands?

[regal pawn]

nope, gotta wait

[normal breach]

for custom deliveries the crafting one, can i craft the item with 1 class and turn it in with a different class to get the xp to go there?

[regal pawn]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

second boss of pagl has arrows and I can surecast that

[regal pawn]

You can even "cheat" by using a lvl 80 job

[patent citrus]

oh right, hmm

[regal pawn]

Use Trained Eye to max quality on it, and turn it in as a lower level job lol

[normal breach]

yea thats what i was gonna do, my culinarian is lvl 80 but everything else is 60

[regal pawn]

yup

[patent citrus]

i forgot proxie fight, is that the one that you need to knockback to that small circle in the middle?

[leaden ginkgo]

yee

[patent citrus]

if that's what you mean, just stand in front of him

[wispy orbit]

That said, if it's a max cap job you MAY want the white scrips more than exp, but that's up to each person

[normal breach]

so i can take the eulmore custom delivery make it with culinary and then turn it in in a lvl 60?

[patent citrus]

if you still have doubt, run it with trust, they are very good at it

[regal pawn]

i think that one is min lvl 70

[wispy orbit]

I think they'd have to be 70

[normal breach]

o but if i use a different one

[regal pawn]

but you can do M'Naago and Zhloe

[normal breach]

like stormblood one ill be fine?

[leaden ginkgo]

that kinda misses the point of what I'm asking

[wispy orbit]

If you're levelling a job from 60-70 I highly recommend the Namazu dailies. You'll get a level a day from them.

[regal pawn]

There's no easy way to tell if you can anti-KB it

[leaden ginkgo]

rip

[regal pawn]

but most knockbacks can be Anti-KB'd

iirc porxie doesn't work tho

[leaden ginkgo]

nope it doesn't

[regal pawn]

Which honestly
only matters for 1 of them

[leaden ginkgo]

only needed to get hit once to figure that one out lol

I suppose that's probably the way to figure it out

just pop it and hope you don't die

[regal pawn]

ye

[ashen ginkgo]

I am level 53 and not getting any XP from level 50 mobs. What am I doing wrong?

[leaden ginkgo]

mob xp is incredibly low isn't it

[regal pawn]

Are you a Blue Mage

[ashen ginkgo]

no I am a bard

[regal pawn]

There's your problem.
Mob grinding is an extremely poor way to farm XP unless you're a Blue Mage

[ashen ginkgo]

doing MSQ

[leaden ginkgo]

a single msq is worth like

hundreds of mobs in xp

[ashen ginkgo]

the MSQ is escort quest to kill level 50 mobs

but 0 XP

i tried level 51 sam too

still 0

[regal pawn]

if they're part of the quest then it's probably by design

[ashen ginkgo]

oh..

[warm yacht]

Which tank would be easiest to start tanking on with no prior MMO tank experience?

[wispy orbit]

Ff14 tanks are essentially DPS who turn on an extra aura if tanking

In general they all have a single target and an aoe rotation

Warrior or gunbreaker may be the most straight forward

[warm yacht]

Hmm, alright

Warrior starts out at level 1 though urgh

[wispy orbit]

Try gunbreaker then

They have a sword that shoots bullets

[last kayak]

Is there a way to hit the 'next' button with the keyboard?

[regal pawn]

it doesn't shoot bullets

[regal pawn]

Numpad 0 iirc

[last kayak]

damnit I need an auto keypresser... thanks

[warm yacht]

But I kinda dig the Warrior aesthetic

[regal pawn]

Personally recommend warrior

very monkey
very cool
big smash

[wispy orbit]

I personally can't get into warrior playing a miqote haha

My character just ain't the angry type

[warm yacht]

I'm a hrothgar personally

[wispy orbit]

Oh you'll love warrior armor on them then

[warm yacht]

I just run a tank top and snazzy pants

So would PAL/DRK be less newcomer friendly?

Sucks because I have PAL to 36 x-x

[dry copper]

Personally imo the tank role overall isn't too hard to master

[warm yacht]

I get a lot of anxiety when I tried it

[dry copper]

the catch is that you need to know where to position yourself for certain bosses for mechanics

[honest anvil]

tank is very forgiving to learn … you may annoy the heck out of your party but you basically cannot die in most leveling content

[dry copper]

though for low level content you don't need to sweat about that stuff

[wispy orbit]

Drk and paladin have to manage mana a bit which can be a bit more complex

GNB has only one resource

[honest anvil]

no the mp thing for pld isnt until much later; and drk’s real mp management isnt til much later too

[dry copper]

the mana management for those jobs are nowhere as tight as actual casters

[wispy orbit]

It's still more complex than what GNB does

[honest anvil]

but even when those come to play, the rotation are very set so it’s more about doing them right than managing mp to do them

[warm yacht]

Does Warrior manage a resource?

[honest anvil]

no more complex than trying to do the right burst on GNB imo

[wispy orbit]

Yeah, all tanks have a gauge

[last mural]

PLD mana management isn't complex though. Basically we have a magic rotation, which we spam out whenever our mana is full

Basically get our mana to full, use Requiescat, then empty our mana pool.

[wispy orbit]

Tanks get really fast roulette queues and they all get an aoe skill early so tanking even low level dungeons isn't that bad. So it's not that bad in levelling a couple to try. They all share gear

[warm yacht]

Alright I guess I could try it

GNB being 60 to start is really attracive

And I already have full Shire/Scavean fending sets

[last escarp]

Here's something I've gone by and have gotten better at tanking with after watching some videos of people talking about their runs of savage content. Treat each class as a dps class with the roles being your extra buttons, so treat tanks as if they are dps with more defensives and such. It's helped me at least feel more comfortable with tanking over the past few weeks.

[warm yacht]

Also setting up new hotbars is a pain

[ornate gale]

This is kinda specific but does anyone know how well XIV runs through parallels on the m1 mac

[warm yacht]

Does it matter to have the right Shire accessories on? Like is it a big deal I have Pankratist bracelet and necklace instead of custodian for GNB

[steep egret]

https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/mihv67/final_fantasy_xiv_on_macbook_pro_m1/

may answer your questions

[ornate gale]

Yeah thanks

i'm downloading parallels rn

so i'll see

[steep egret]

there is a Mac version, not sure why yod use paralells

[ornate gale]

because I don't wanna rebuy the game

and all the dlc's

also parallels is useful anyway for me

[wispy orbit]

I can't remember if shire accessories are role locked or not. If they aren't, then just go by ilvl mostly. You won't be at level 60 for long

Tank damage scales off str though

[steep egret]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ni0fdh/does_ffxiv_run_on_windows_10_arm_through_the/gyzknms/
parallels specific post

[warm yacht]

they are not

[ornate gale]

Thanks, yeah I probably should have checked the subreddit first lol

[warm yacht]

I'm already 270

[wispy orbit]

If it has str, use it til you get better

[warm yacht]

I have all Custodian everything except for bracelet and necklace

For which I have Pankratist

Which I think is the melee dps set

[steep egret]

all good, id say your probably among very small number of ppl who will run it on paralleles, soo information will likely be scarce, but good luck

[ornate gale]

Yeah

[warm yacht]

Not very much difference

[wispy orbit]

You're fine

[last kayak]

if EXP is my goal in Zadnor, should I do Dalriada when it pops or is it better to avoid?

idk what the total exp is you get for it

[wispy orbit]

Dalriada is decent exp if group is running essences plus the massive mettle dump towards more rays

[last kayak]

rays?

[sand steppe]

Would it be ok of I posted my UI here to ask for advice on improvement?

[last kayak]

only if you're ready for heavy criticism

[sand steppe]

Fair enough

[steep egret]

lol, everything is personal preference really, but at least people can give you some ideas you've not thought about

[wispy orbit]

The buffs you start earning after finishing Save the Queen

[sand steppe]

Preface- I'm a clicker so that's why the AoE/ST rots are clumped together

[steep egret]

there are a few decentl reddit threads of ppl posting their UIs as well

if you do a quick google, worth a browse

[leaden ginkgo]

can i apply materia to this

looks like the kinda ui that my grandmother would use

[sand steppe]

Welp, can't say I didn't get a warning lol

[wispy orbit]

I don't think the blue crafter scrip gear can be melded

[sand steppe]

(party/alliance info to the left w/enemies under it, enemy HP position up top- felt like they were fine as-is)

[leaden ginkgo]

What is the best meldable lvl60 gear then?

[last kayak]

that UI needs to be taken out behind a barn and shot.

[sand steppe]

Yes but what should I improve upon lol

[last kayak]

Mine for reference.

Bar 1 = single target, Bar 2 = AoE, bar 3 = melee combo. The stuff to the right of the character is my oGCD's, and the button to the right of my main bar is my 'oh shit bar' that uses buffs and stuff I don't use often because they have long CD's

[woeful breach]

Where do i get a dps meter

my party member said i just got some crazy amount and i cant even see lol

[wispy orbit]

I'm personally enjoying my ignorance about my dps.

[woeful breach]

Same until my friend is like i destroyed his meter lol

so i wanna see now 😛

am i nuts at this game

[warm yacht]

Should I bother upgrading from Shire from 60-70 if I have a full Scavean fending set waiting

[wispy orbit]

If you level by grinding the highest dungeon you can, replace with higher ilvl as you get it but that'll be around level 66

[warm yacht]

I think I need to figure out how GNB works before that lol

[wispy orbit]

For roulettes you'll likely end up doing lower level stuff so your gear will get scaled down regardless

[glass oxide]

It is a third party tool called ACT

[warm yacht]

Which tank has the most damage? Warrior?

[wispy orbit]

ACT is not condoned by square, but if you never use it to harass another player they won't take action against you for having it.

[cursive ridge]

is the funky melody from the EW job actions trailer new EW music?

[glass oxide]

If tank or healer it is recommended to switch as you go

Can get away with waiting till 70 but might have a harder time in 67 and 69 dungeons

[wispy orbit]

Only an issue if grinding the highest dungeons you can

If doing just roulettes, anything goes

[cursive ridge]

even then, it'll just be you pulling one pack at a time rather like the whole dungeon, it'll annoy some people but at least you're finishing the dungeon, so /shrug

[wispy orbit]

A lot of my levelling is spent in alliance or msq roulette and that's almost always level 50 stuff for alliance

[leaden ginkgo]

Bruh Just Old Yeller My Ass

[tight spoke]

How much does a Large plot cost?

Gotta start saving for the Lotto

[glass oxide]

From 20M to 50M

And additional 3M for housing premit

[tight spoke]

whats the housing permit?

i understand the meaning literally, but how does it work ingame

[wispy orbit]

Housing may be less of a deal depending on how customizable islands will be.

[tight spoke]

islands?

[wispy orbit]

New Endwalker feature

[tight spoke]

got a link to info about it? first ive heard of it

[wispy orbit]

It's in the various interviews. It's not ready for a preview yet

[glass oxide]

A housing permit is for building the house

[tight spoke]

so you buy the plot, and then buy a permit to use the plot?

[glass oxide]

Yes

[tight spoke]

ah I see

so I should have 100mil spare then, to buy and decorate

or is 45mil overkill for decor

[boreal storm]

But like, this implies that someone won’t snatch the plot from you

[honest anvil]

tanks are super balanced. DMG difference is ~1% in the top ~1% players

[tight spoke]

lotto system. I will just put down a deposit on the slot I want in every ward. if im lucky, 1 of them will roll to me

hmm. yoshi said that it might be 3mil per deposit... guess I might need 200mil to bid on every ward

[grand pecan]

soo im thinking of buying the full version .what i wanna onow is will it include stormbringer as well?im not talking bout complete edition

[tight spoke]

If you buy an expansion, you get all previous for free

[boreal storm]

New expansion includes old ones

[tight spoke]

eg, if you buy Endwalker, you get Shadowbringers and Stormblood

[boreal storm]

ARR + HW is its own purchase if you do it that way

[tight spoke]

yup. so you need Starter Edition, and Endwalker, to get everything

[grand pecan]

dang

[glass oxide]

Endwalker is still preorder at the moment

[tight spoke]

the pre order wont give ShB?

[boreal storm]

Not til November

[glass oxide]

If you buy it now you won't get ShB or SB till it is released

[tight spoke]

ah ok

[tight spoke]

have you already got starter edition?

[grand pecan]

@tight spoke if you mean free trial then yes

[tight spoke]

how far through?

[boreal storm]

No they don’t mean that

[grand pecan]

@tight spoke ive completed a rr to the ultimate weapon

[tight spoke]

so you still have all of heavensward and post ARR

may as well pre order endwalker and wait for stormblood and shadowbringers to get credited in november

[boreal storm]

But to clarify you don’t own the starter edition

Meaning you can’t preorder EW yet

[warm yacht]

Yeah but they have different APM, right?

[boreal storm]

Well technically you can purchase it, but you can’t put in the actual code

[tight spoke]

eh, kinda. the only one thats sort of faster is WAR as you build skill speed on it. other than that, they have similar OGCD ability counts, and APM is kinda irrelevant as you can queue actions

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[honest egret]

So why potd is a good way to lvl up

[tight spoke]

51-60 takes a few mins and gives about 1/3 exp bar

[boreal storm]

No dps queues

[tight spoke]

and no dps queues

[honest anvil]

yes but apm is not relevant to total dps

[rapid raven]

hi so i am trying to change my server from garuda to an eu server. I know Twintania is not full so I have been attempting to enter the server since yesterday but i keep failing, may i know why is this happening?

and how else should i like deal w this cri

[tight spoke]

isnt twintania congested right now?

oh wait nvm

eu got uncongested a few days ago

[leaden ginkgo]

this game isnt starcraft nor a rhythm game so I couldnt imagine apm would be that high anyway?

[rapid raven]

yeaaa which is why i dont know why i cant enter t

[tight spoke]

might just be a bad time

lots of people accessing at once

took me a while to make a character on mateus

wait a few hours and try again

[rapid raven]

so i just gotta keep trying consistently?

[boreal storm]

The highest job apms are around 46+

[tight spoke]

dont need to spam it

try it once in a while

[boreal storm]

@leaden ginkgo

[rapid raven]

will i never be able to transfer my servers 😭

[leaden ginkgo]

those dont seem too bad

[honest egret]

Does that mean blm is bad

[tight spoke]

slowst CPM, pulls top dps anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

no it just means it's chunky

[dusty shard]

cans some1 post the buying guide for this game ?

[steep egret]

BLM is for ppl who like big numbers

[tight spoke]

its the first EX trial you need to do

[dusty shard]

still baffles me that guide is needed to buy this game

[tight spoke]

Spending Money EX

[steep egret]

i like to call it, the Store Boss

players: Just let me give you money!
squenix: no, you must work for the priviledge to give us money

[tight spoke]

heres an 18min guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klvTWBf15TE&ab_channel=JohnMasayume

its asmongold proof

10/10 if he can do it, so can you

[dusty shard]

i heard u have to buy ARR then the expansion

oh nice, its longer than nidhogg extreme

[tight spoke]

Starter edition, then endwalker

unless you want to get shadowbringers now

[steep egret]

lol
i think the basic rules are,
a. purchase on the correct platform, you cannot mix and match Steam and the SE store purchases
b. for SE store, make sure you purchase from the store your account is registered for, so dont purchase on the NA store, if your account is EU

[leaden ginkgo]

Just buy on sale 🧠

[dusty shard]

ARR never gone on sale right ?

[tight spoke]

it goes on sale constantly doesnt it?

pretty sure I bought it for 4.99

[dusty shard]

pound ?

how much is it when its not discount

[tight spoke]

9.99

and yeah GBP

HOWEVER

IF you want to take advantage of free trial

dont buy anything

buying starter edition immediately cancels free trial

and you need to pay sub

[dusty shard]

i know

[boreal storm]

If you’re gonna buy the game on sale, might as well do complete edition

[dusty shard]

i'm gonna milk everything on free trial 1st

still doing legendary fishing

[tight spoke]

wow

[boreal storm]

Please don’t

[dusty shard]

ehh why

[plain python]

can squadron members wear lv61+ glam?

[dusty shard]

prob no

[leaden ginkgo]

speaking of milking

[tight spoke]

squadron glam rules are the same as retainer rules iirc

so, no overleveled glam

[steep egret]

i believe they max out at 50?, so no

[plain python]

60

[steep egret]

still no 😄

[boreal storm]

It’s way better to go for those with over leveled stats, just saying

[steep egret]

follows the rule, if they can't wear it, they can't glam it

[honest egret]

Wait there is a correct way to buy the game

[last kayak]

bought mine on steam during ARR, have never had issues with it since

[honest egret]

I don't know if I did it right

[tight spoke]

the only exception for glamour is your friends from Custom Deliveries

they can wear literally anything

EXCEPT Emperors New Set

sadly

[cursive ridge]

but obviously are supposed to wear swimsuits

[dusty shard]

i thought there is a cap to those stat? ur telling me that the higher the stat i have the less chance the legendary fish can escape ?

[honest egret]

How do know if I brought the game the right way

[cursive ridge]

i've been told there is a cap to overgearing gathering things

[boreal storm]

Still better to have more tools, than to not

[cursive ridge]

well yeah if you're already leveled up

[dusty shard]

I'm currently wearing the lvl 60 blue token scrip gear, should be enough right since its 1 of the high end gear for that expansion

[cursive ridge]

also special fishes have garbage catch rates by design

it's supposed to take you ages to get them

[tight spoke]

does it work? yes? then its fine

[dusty shard]

of u mean skill and stuff, well i guess having those GP regen UP would be very nice

[last kayak]

whats the best way to level fishing desynth from 1-70?

[boreal storm]

Fisher doesn’t desynth

[last kayak]

oh uh I mean CUL

[boreal storm]

Just desynth stuff

[tight spoke]

find the highest level and cheapest mean you can cook and mass produce it

meal

[edgy quartz]

Nightmare whistle can drop from unsynched garuda extreme right?

[dusty shard]

just do normal fishing, u will naturally level up ur fishing

[tight spoke]

yes

can drop from Ifrit Titan and Garuda

[dusty shard]

even more so if u try to do legendary fishing

[edgy quartz]

guess im just really unlucky

[boreal storm]

Nightmare has a garbo drop rate

[dusty shard]

they say nightmare is around 3%

[tight spoke]

was my first ever pony iirc lmao

[edgy quartz]

yeah at 3% i statistically should have gotten it by now

[cursive ridge]

not how statistics work

[boreal storm]

No not really

[tight spoke]

remember, even 99% gather chance will fail

[edgy quartz]

no im saying im pushing the lower end of it

[tight spoke]

so your 3% doesnt mean shit

[edgy quartz]

rather than the average

[boreal storm]

Still no

[tight spoke]

stop farming it for a while

come back later

[cursive ridge]

you can say that you were 'likely to get it already'

[tight spoke]

you dont need it for kirin anyway

[young blade]

I was about to finish heavensward msq but low Item level stopped me, what should I do? anything quick?

[cursive ridge]

but certainty isn't guaranteed

[boreal storm]

Do your job quests

[cursive ridge]

get poetics shire gear

[tight spoke]

that ring doesnt look like shire

wait hang on, thats ironworks stuff

[cursive ridge]

nothing looks shire,

[tight spoke]

get shire gear

its ilvl 210 iirc

[boreal storm]

Again job quests

[young blade]

aight ty

[cursive ridge]

270

[young blade]

where do I get it ?

[tight spoke]

idyllshire

[cursive ridge]

idyllshire, rowena's shop

[boreal storm]

You’re missing skills

[sonic urchin]

If I po ew now wil I get sb and hw release if I have starter edition now ?

[tight spoke]

you will get shb and sb in november

once endwalker releases

[sonic urchin]

Alright cool

[boreal storm]

You’re wearing accessories that don’t work on SAM also

Don’t do that, SAM want strength

[young blade]

ty!

where is rowena btw?

turn on place captions on your map

[tight spoke]

see those 3 traders in a row? there

[boreal storm]

First off how many poetics you got

[young blade]

45 😦

I remember spending them on the ironworks set

[young blade]

it doesnt work

[cursive ridge]

zoom in

[boreal storm]

Seriously go do your job quest

[young blade]

on it

[cursive ridge]

queue for MSQ roulette for easy ~400 poetics daily

[young blade]

yea I know, that will take alot of time tho

i was planning on starting stormblood before I go to sleep

[cursive ridge]

your lvl 60 job quest will get you a full set of 210 armor

[vast hinge]

it's funny the dungeon you are queueing for right now

[young blade]

OH

[vast hinge]

is unironically the fastest way to get poetics

[tight spoke]

oh thats what the 210 was

[young blade]

well that saves some time

[cursive ridge]

no accessories though

[boreal storm]

You’re gonna get your butt kicked, because bad gear

Why don’t you just buy something, you have close to 500k gil

[young blade]

i was using ilv119 so far, I just need 1 more dungeon, 1 more trial and Im done, I think 210 is enough no?

[cursive ridge]

you have to do your job quests anyway, they unlock abilities

[boreal storm]

And people will be able to tell if you’re missing stuff

[young blade]

yeah im on one rn

[vast hinge]

yes 210 is enough, that was higher than max ilevel in 3.0

270 will just make bosses melt like butter

[young blade]

yeah was I was thinking, and wont the gear become irrelevant as soon as I reach storm blood?

[cursive ridge]

it wont

[young blade]

new expansion gear etc

[cursive ridge]

aetherochemical research facility is ilvl locked to 180

[vast hinge]

the 270 gear will carry you all the way to mid stormblood~

[boreal storm]

Poetic gear lasts 5 lvls into next expansion

Then it starts being replaced

[last mural]

i think only 3 lvls

my class started replacing them with lv X4 gear

[dusty shard]

any1 know what app is this ?

[cursive ridge]

https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/

[young blade]

should I buy gear with gil as soon as I reach sb?

[boreal storm]

No

Use shire

[cursive ridge]

x4 gear is usually on par with poetics ilvl wise, but since it's usually white or green, it has less stats, so you should really be replacing it from x6

[vast hinge]

don't bother buying gear with gil until you're level 80

[dusty shard]

thx

[vast hinge]

the stuff will get replaced too quick to matter

[cursive ridge]

even then the difference between poetics and x6 x8 gear is so minimal, you can easily just not bother and replace it with next poetics

exception being tank armor, as that is quite a jump between expansions

[vast hinge]

you should replace gear for doing x6+ content when levelling

[cursive ridge]

and even the basic whites have more armor than poetics

[vast hinge]

if you try to do a level 68 dungeon or something with shire gear, you will get shredded as tank

and you won't keep up as healer

[cursive ridge]

that's why i said tank armor is exception

[vast hinge]

it's any role

[cursive ridge]

only if you push it to stupid limits like pulling half the dungeon

[vast hinge]

there's literally no reason why you wouldn't go in a bit more geared, considering MSQ literally hands you the gear

[last mural]

It might still be worth buying gear for DoH/DoL classes when trying to break into the next expansion tier

The jump in requirements for stats is quite daunting

[cursive ridge]

only a big issue for ARR->Heavensward

[last mural]

Well, just the main arm/off hand, and maybe body

The rest aren't that important

[cursive ridge]

the rest of the jumps you'll have more scrips than you can think of, so it's 0 problem to get yellow scrip gear

[last mural]

Maybe for gathering, but for crafting, i need a ton of them to buy the master recipe books

And crafting rarefied collector items for crafting scripts is... time consuming and annoying

[cursive ridge]

custom deliveries

[leaden ginkgo]

whats a effective way to get gathering white scripts

[cursive ridge]

also custom deliveries

[last mural]

Yep, that's where i get all my crafting scrips from, purely custom delivery

[little swift]

You can camp white scrip timed nodes if you're out of delivery allowances

[leaden ginkgo]

is there another way other once you do your weekly customs?

[tawdry venture]

hey uh, can I get some help with technical stuff?

I got a new mouse with way higher DPI than my old one. It's fantastic for the most part, my cursor movement feels so much smoother once I changed my mouse sensitivity in the windows settings to adjust...

[little swift]

@leaden ginkgo

[tawdry venture]

but in FFXIV, trying to move the camera with it is like spinning a top

I tried turning the camera sensitivity all the way down in settings, but it's still way too fast

[little swift]

Have a dpi profile that's lower for this gamr

[tawdry venture]

I know I could fix it by going back to a lower DPI, but I was wondering if there was any other options I could try first

[leaden ginkgo]

ive noticed they only give 20 scripts that hardly seems worth

[boreal storm]

Each

[little swift]

The collectable nodes allow you to collect multiple times

[tawdry venture]

I changed the mouse sensitivity from windows, so I don't know if the profiles will affect that

If I just lower the DPI, won't that also make my actual mouse movement painfully slow?

[cursive ridge]

you probably shouldn't be using high DPI settings, they're really more of a marketing term

[little swift]

So 3 to 4 items per node and each one is like 20 is 80 scrips per node you can get like a couple hundred an hour

Oh make sure windows mouse settings natively has mouse acceleration ofd

[leaden ginkgo]

should i try for over 600 collectability or no

[little swift]

No reason no to

[tawdry venture]

yeah, it does

[little swift]

600 is a low bar

[manic heath]

can you cap on mettle?

mine isn't going past this

[little swift]

Yes 25mil is the cap

[manic heath]

no point in hoarding then just spend it huh

[little swift]

Spend it or lose it

[manic heath]

ok

[shut panther]

The only mettle you need after hitting 25

[manic heath]

which proofs are good? I assume dmg > hp > healing probably

[shut panther]

Is 3m to get the weekly quest for dal and cll

Other than that just get proofs

And yes, you're correct

[manic heath]

you need to spend 3m mettle for dal and cll?

[shut panther]

DMG >>>>>>>>>> HP > healing

The weekly quest

Requires you have 3m stocked to take it

It doesn't cost that much

But you can't accept it under 3m mettle

[cursive ridge]

@tawdry venture 1200-1600 is probably the higher limit of DPI you should really go, anything in the realm of 2000 and above is just masochism and nobody should be doing that

[manic heath]

you referring tot he weekly in gangos where it says "clear dal/cll" and "clear dalubrum"

[tawdry venture]

how is it masochistic? it's worked great up till this

[manic heath]

the mettle reward for the quest isn't great

[cursive ridge]

DPI is not the same as sensitivity

[tawdry venture]

if I was just allowed to lower the camera sensitivity further, it wouldn't be an issue at all.

[cursive ridge]

higher values of DPI will introduce random mouse jittering movements

[shut panther]

It's free mettle if you're doing them for relics though

[manic heath]

I see

[tawdry venture]

huh? I definitely haven't felt that

[shut panther]

And it's the fastest route to the 525 zadnor gear

If that interests you

It's not necessary at all, to be clear.

[cursive ridge]

@tawdry venture https://thewiredshopper.com/what-dpi-should-i-use-for-gaming/

exceedingly high DPI values are just marketing because the marketing people found a number that they can make bigger and brag

[tawdry venture]

I'm not sure if I trust that; someone I know as being really knowledgeable about gaming/technology stuff has told me it's generally better if I can.

but, that doesn't matter if there is no way to make this work with a high DPI

and, it's not a very good argument, either

[cursive ridge]

it was the first result on google and there are dozens similar articles

this is not the end of your issues if you persist with this

[tawdry venture]

like, what I said, not yours

o

I'm sorry, I didnt mean it to sound like that

[cursive ridge]

most games will be annoying for you, you're just shooting yourself in the leg

[tawdry venture]

ah, is this how all FPSes handle controls ? -w-

[cursive ridge]

it's on a game per game basis, they handle stuff differently

[lament pilot]

I'm a returning player going through stormblood msq currently and I hit lv70 dragoon. on the AH there's ilvl 385 stuff that is way better than the stuff MSQ has been giving. is it worth it for me to buy that gear to speed up what's coming next, the rest of stormblood/the start of the next expansion? I already got the cheap slots which were no brainers. but some pieces are 50-100k apiece

[steep egret]

if you look at what the "pros" use, there are a few websites that actually document pro setups, their DPI, windows mouse sensitvity settings, in game sensitivity settings, etc
at least for FPS competitive games
the vast majority leave the DPI on their mice at the standard 800

[cursive ridge]

lower your dpi to something sensible and use the sensitivity in either windows or the game itself to control the cursor speed

[shut panther]

It's definitely not worth spending that much Gil on leveling gear

[steep egret]

also increasing the polling rate makes the mouse more sensitive

1000hz mice are also a gimmick

[lethal birch]

i have to buy the EW preorder at SQenix and NOT at mogstation, yeah?

[steep egret]

just leave it at 500

[shut panther]

The msq will give you similar quality gear as you reach that level

[tawdry venture]

< I just liked the smooth feeling, and am finding out about all this stuff after I got a new mouse

[lethal birch]

run 1000hz if your mouse natively supports it, lol

500hz is fine, if you need to do any overclocking jank to get to 1000

[cursive ridge]

it's mostly in your head

you expect it to be smooth so it feels smooth

[steep egret]

ive not messed with polling rates much tbh, if its native 1000 its probfine

[tawdry venture]

;w; I know about the placebo effect, but I asked my partner about it and he said that higher DPIs do actually feel smoother.

[steep egret]

mine starts at 500 and if i change it, it behaves weridly,but maybe just me

[cursive ridge]

also the actual physical attributes of a mouse may make it feel smoother, like the mouse legs

[tawdry venture]

hhhh, I can't argue about this stuff when all my reasoning is argument from authorities

[lethal birch]

run the dpi that you feel comfortable with

period

[tawdry venture]

I don't really have the know-how or anything to debate about it

[willow cipher]

Hi, what can I do with all the dupe field notes? I know that I can trade them for lockboxes but iirc I can also trade it to get coins for ilvl 525 gear?
Also the bronze and silver coin

[fresh gate]

Higher dpi has less response time on high end sensors and the jittery you get from it is from predictive stuff from the firmware btw yall clogging the channel up

[steep egret]

but as for DPI, i messed with dpi a bunch, and just found, the standard 800 was best for me, just adjust the windows mouse sensitivity a bit to your liking
then adjust sensitivity per game, there is no one size fits all, at least for me

my default was fine for FF14, haven't adjusted the in game settings, no idea what they are even on

but for FPS like Overwatch and Warframe, i had to turn sensitivity way down

well warframe is a TPS, but same diff

[lethal birch]

this is ff14, even a cheap dollar store mouse works as long as it moves the cursor

run a dpi that feels comfortable

end of story

[steep egret]

yeah, for tab target mmo, you dont need crazy reaction times and precision

[tawdry venture]

ty

I think I'

[arctic wraith]

Is it frowned upon to become a mentor while still a sprout?

[tawdry venture]

go for something high-ish that still lets me get a comfy camera speed

[warm yacht]

Could someone identify this helmet for me?

[pulsar escarp]

Kind of a question of literally How unless it’s trade mentor which means nothing. Tbh other mentor also means nothing, people often take mentor with a grain of salt anyway

[cursive ridge]

@tawdry venture i suggest something in the area of 1800, that's still plenty twitchy, haven't had issues with any games at this value

[lethal birch]

it's just a title

fairly meaningless one

[last mural]

I mean... is that even possible?

[tight spoke]

yeah

[shut panther]

That's pretty much it, yeah. Either lockboxes or coins.

[tawdry venture]

... I'm startting to think you have a problem with your mouse, I seriously haven't felt any twitches at freaking 20,000 dpi

[pulsar escarp]

Trade mentor is a joke to get

[shut panther]

It's really easy to become Trade mentor.

[tawdry venture]

like, I get that me thinking it feels smooth being the placebo effect

that's reasonable

[pulsar escarp]

pve mentor on a sprout is less likely but could probably still be done

[shut panther]

Battle mentor isn't exactly difficult either, just time consuming

[sage patio]

can i solo unsync coils?

[tawdry venture]

but if there was any twitching, I'm pretty certain I would've noticed by now

[cursive ridge]

i don't mean twitchy as in error-prone, but faste response
